I'd like one cheaper if there's a copy going spare.

Anybody?

Sold one for £120 about six months ago and had lots of calls on it.

For what it's worth I think the Lonnie Youngblood version of the in-demand track (Let Your Love Bring Out The Woman In Me) on Calla is better: maybe not as good vocally but the early 70s backing track is nicer than the 80s re-recording on Bound Sound.

I have to mention his version of the old warhorse "That's How Strong My Love Is", with the monologue at the beginning. Just love it to bits........

That's a very good point John. Jessie is a very fine singer, it's just that I have a blind-spot on most covers of the real building blocks of soul: the "I Stand Accused", "For Your Precious Love", "That's How Strong My Love Is" etc type. Particularly 80s ones.

Lately 1980s low budget synthesised productions have really started to grate on me whereas at the time I was more tolerant. Tried listening to the Frank Johnson material on Traction the other day and felt ready to jump off a tall building afterwards. A wonderful singer who could have been the natural heir to Johnnie Taylor and some great songs both new and old, but those piss-ant arrangements! Really shoddy and inexcusable.
